Neither biden nor the lying MSM will say what is really causing the price of everything to triple. The FIXED HIGH price of Diesel. Nothing Gets to a store without diesel and the Fix is How they are starving The People.

What, you mean that last-mile trucks and massive ships don't run off of electricity? Or that they are trying to ban farming and ranching? How could that possibly cause things to cost more.

Because they all believe that this is only a little paper cut on the grand transition to electric. They have been trying to make sure gas and diesel are expensive so electric vehicles are cost competitive. Notice how they wouldn't shut up about how EVs were cheaper than ICE when gas was $4/gal. And now that it's under $3 in most of the country no one wants to buy EVs? Now imagine they didn't bother making policy choices that drove up the cost of petroleum and imagine how much worse EVs would have done in the market.

They want to keep diesel high so electric semis and trucks can show up and offer a lower cost than the artificially inflated diesel prices.

Biden and his bosses are blaming shrinkflation as a deflection and to buy more time since EV trucks aren't ready yet. They'll probably never be ready.

It's certainly a factor and you're right I don't think anyone talks about it.

If anything this message might remind people how much inflation we've had under Biden. Although who knows. Seems the NPCs are too easily gaslit.

Your house isn't worth more, your money is worth less.

They are trying to keep people from saying things like "Bidenflation" or cursing "Bidenomics".

Politicians blaming "hoarders, speculators, and greedy merchants" for the inflation they caused by currency debasement is the second oldest profession after prostitution.
